November 20, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Zeus Technology Limited (zeus.com), a provider of Web server software and solutions, announced that its customers will now be able

to evaluate the Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution.

The Secure Web Serving Solution is designed to sit in front of Microsoft's

IIS Web server, identifying and discarding incoming attempts to exploit

vulnerabilities in customers' IIS servers or other internal infrastructure

without the need for wholesale platform migration. Based on the Zeus Web

Server, the solution demonstrates many of the anti-denial-of-service

features that will be released in the next major release of the Zeus Web

Server.

These features include parsing incoming requests and blocking discreet URLs

described by a set of rules. The rule set can be modified or updated

dynamically, so that modifying the rules in anticipation of a new attack

requires no downtime, or even a server restart.

As part of the development of anti-denial-of-service technology, the Zeus

Secure Web Serving Solution allows customers to build an "HTTP Firewall"; a

gatekeeper that protects existing infrastructure from attacks from the

Internet.

"The Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution will enable organisations that have

been plagued by Code-Red and Nimda to quickly secure their infrastructure

against these attacks whilst maintaining their investment in Microsoft

technology," said Zeus CEO John Paterson.

The Zeus Secure Web Serving Solution will initially be available to

customers who wish to evaluate or deploy the solution as part of a preview

programme. Full availability is expected in Q1, 2002.
